The difference between the two types of coils is not Electronic and Points
but external resistor and not. If your coil can handle the full current of
about 6A that the electronic dizzy draws you can use it. But as most of
the points systems use a ballast resistor to reduce the current to save on
the life of the contacts, the coils will be designed to use a ballast
resistor, ie less than 6A. You can still use a points coil with an
electronic ignition setup as long as you keep the ballast resistor.
